3. Maruti Suzuki Brezza

Brezza was Maruti’s answer to Hyundai’s Creta, and indeed, the underdog was able to take over a good amount of market share from Creta’s grasp. 

Currently available only with a diesel engine, Maruti ditched the petrol engine in the car because of the not so good fuel efficiency figures, since SUVs are always assumed to be gas guzzlers.

However, this will change after the 31st of March 2020 when Maruti Suzuki will only sell petrol cars abiding by the BS6 norms.

A facelift of Brezza is currently in the work and is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2020. The new Brezza will be powered by a 1.5-litre BS-VI petrol engine that currently powers the facelifted Ciaz and Ertiga.

Maruti’s brand name along with good pricing, engine and features makes Brezza is one of top SUV in India under 15 lakhs, and a worthy investment in the long run.

Harrier is based on the OmegaArc platform which is a re-engineered version of the Jaguar Land Rover D8 platform.

A good list of features, premiumness all over, sense of luxury, good engine and references to the luxury brand JLR helped the Harrier in making an imposing mark in this segment.

No doubt, the sales figures speak the same, the car is giving a tough competition to the Creta and for sure is one of the 5 best SUV under 15 lakhs in 2020.
